The Forgiveness Journey—Preparing to Let Go, Heal, and Grow!

Introduction: Are You Ready for the Next Step?

For the past few weeks, we’ve walked through the challenges of forgiveness—how to release pain, heal from past wounds, and move forward. But now, it’s time for action.

As we prepare for The Forgiveness Journey: Let Go, Heal, and Grow! Virtual Workshop on March 28, 2025, I want you to reflect:

Where are you in your forgiveness journey?

Are you still holding onto past hurts?
Do you feel like you’ve forgiven, but the pain resurfaces?
Are you ready to finally walk in the freedom God has for you?

This week, let’s get intentional about preparing our hearts for healing.

1. Forgiveness Is a Daily Decision

📖 Luke 6:37 (KJV) – "Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."

Many of us think of forgiveness as a one-time event, but it’s not. It’s a daily decision to let go.

Think of it like weeding a garden:

✔️ Some weeds are easily pulled up.

✔️ Others have deep roots and take time to remove.

✔️ If you don’t maintain the soil, new weeds (bitterness) will grow.

What unforgiveness still lingers in your heart? This week, ask God to reveal areas where you still need to forgive.

2. Identify Your Roadblocks to Healing

📖 Hebrews 12:15 (KJV) – "Lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled."

What’s stopping you from fully forgiving?

Is it:

Waiting for an apology that never came?
Fear of getting hurt again?
Feeling like they don’t deserve it?

These are common struggles. But the truth is, holding onto unforgiveness only keeps YOU trapped.

This week, write down:

✔️ Who you need to forgive.

✔️ What emotions still come up when you think of them.

✔️ One step you can take toward release.

3. Trust God to Handle Justice

📖 Romans 12:19 (KJV) – "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

One of the hardest parts of forgiveness is letting go of the need for justice. We want closure. We want them to understand how much they hurt us.

But God is the ultimate judge. When we surrender our pain to Him, we release the weight of trying to control the outcome.

Pray this week:"Lord, I release my desire for justice to You. I trust You to heal my heart and handle the rest."

4. Get Ready for a Transformational Experience!

📖 Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV) – "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing."

On March 28, 2025, we’re gathering for The Forgiveness Journey: Let Go, Heal, and Grow! Virtual Workshop.
